Default Re: Subcategory Drop Down with Disable Scroll Bar

Turns out it has to do with a corrupt data file. As soon as I ran a Quick
Repair on the data file, the scroll bar started to work again. How corrupt
data affects a scroll bar, I don't know, but it works now.

<rant onI'm no longer surprised by any decision Microsoft makes about
development in Money. They obviously long ago decided that Money as a
source of income for them is all about displaying advertisements and
directing people to outside extra-cost functionality.

They ignore problems about which current users complain bitterly year
after year, but they keep adding new features that are only marginally
useful or are totally useless -- but they get to put "New and
Improved!" on the box.

Granted, the price of Money is so low that they can't really be making
anything from the sales -- thus the need for ad revenue -- but I'd be
more inclined to buy an upgrade every year if they fixed old problems.

It's the same as trying to get people to upgrade to Vista. They want
$200 or more for Vista, but they didn't put in $200 worth of new
features, so I'm sticking with XP. I'll probably be forced to upgrade
just so I can be more effective in supporting my computer customers, but
I'll put it off as long as possible.

Default Subcategory Drop Down with Disable Scroll Bar

How is it that MS cannot fix this bug? I have reported it to them since M$
2004. On any category in which the number of subcategory items is more than
one page (13 items, I believe) the scroll bar is disabled. You can select
the subcategory by using the scroll wheel on your mouse or just typing in
the subcategory.

Try it. Create a category and then enter in 15 subcategories. Go into an
account and select the category for a transaction. Click on the dropdown for
the subcategory and dropdown list shown will have a disabled scroll bar even
though all the subcategories are not displayed.
